Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, General Sherman ("Six") and Prince

April 15, 2024 23:41 - 50 minutes - 69.4 MB

Another mind bending episode.  I went up to the Sequoias this past week and got a chance to meet "General Sherman" for the first time. Considered one of the oldest trees in the world, I recorded some footage of talking to people who were accessing the tree in real time, which I will transcribe at a future date and post on medium. However, Jennifer and I got a chance to do a rare Sunday podcast - and the idea of interviewing a tree has occurred in the podcast before, as well as during guided...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Amelia Earhart, Sally Kellerman, Luana and Linda

April 05, 2024 00:39 - 38 minutes - 52.8 MB

Here's the ring camera video that I mention in the podcast: https://youtu.be/Vu4ILcGepGU   In today's podcast, Amelia Earhart stops by. She's stopped by a number of times, and when Jennifer said "She's been showing you more things lately" I forgot to mention how I was studying her poetry this past week, in her own handwriting, which is hard to decipher. And I found in her poems from Purdue University more evidence of her relationship with her painter... and how she was a prolific writer, ...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Kobe Bryant, Sally Kellerman, Jonathan Krane

March 30, 2024 08:06 - 44 minutes - 60.7 MB

Another mind bending podcast.  On this "Good Friday" podcast, Kobe Bryant stops by. He spoke to us before, that transcript is in the book BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE. In today's podcast, he wanted to stop by and thank Jennifer for something she'd done, as well as talk a bit about process. About how it's important to "keep one's eye on the ball" - meaning that we need to be "all in" when it comes to life.  Do one's best to learn their craft, hone their skills as it will result in a happie...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and Sitting Bull

March 22, 2024 04:35 - 32 minutes - 44 MB

It's another mind bending session, this time with someone we spoke to some years ago.  Just to be clear about the past two weeks - it's as if people are aware of the book CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FLIPSIDE KIND and how it's just come out - as it talks about the topics that they're interesting in addressing. Last week it was a surprise appearance by "Five" the Akashic librarian who has been seen by multiple people in different guided meditations - and multiple times by Jennifer in our podcasts...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, "Five" Luana, Sally, Bill, Chuck, Prince, Coleman Hough

March 15, 2024 01:08 - 39 minutes - 54.6 MB

Our once a year podcast from Jennifer's office in Manhattan Beach.  Another mind bending adventure, this time with numerous folks stopping by to wish me happy birthday - from Luana Anders to Charles Grodin, Bill Paxton, Prince - and the Akashic librarian "Five."   He talks a bit about how anyone can come and visit him and explore previous lifetimes. Charles Grodin points out that if he was still on the planet, he'd be taking me out for a birthday lunch or dinner - Chuck was the type of per...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Prince, Matthew Perry, Linda and Jim Medlyn and "Five"

March 01, 2024 06:10 - 39 minutes - 54.7 MB

A field trip to the Akashic library. Another mind bending podcast.  Jennifer's mom passed away last week, and she took us on a field trip to visit the Akashic library. No other way to put it. First Prince showed up to talk a little bit about being connected to people, then Matthew Perry talked about a client that Jennifer had worked with that he showed up during their session. I asked Matthew if he was attending any classes on the flipside, and he replied "any that I can get my light int...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, her mom and dad Jim and Linda and her dog Chloe

February 16, 2024 00:44 - 24 minutes - 33.6 MB

 Jennifer went through a difficult week of loss, two key players in her life, her mom Linda and her 14 year old dog Chloe.  She mentioned that Chloe was going to leave the stage on the last podcast, but in the interim, her mom had a fall and passed away yesterday. The only reason we did the podcast today is to help Jennifer work through some of her grief.  By accessing her father Jim on the other side, he could help her, and then by speaking directly to her dog, Chloe, that was also helpful...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Super Flipside Bowl with Junior Seau, Jim, Luana and Prince

February 10, 2024 03:47 - 45 minutes - 62.3 MB

It's that time of year again - the Super Duper Bowl, and we have a super duper podcast to enjoy. Some years ago, we were just starting this research, and the Microsoft found Paul Allen passed away.  So as an experiment, I asked three people we'd spoken to on the flipside, who knew him, to come forward and help us chat with Paul.  At the time I didn't know that we could "invite anyone" - but figured if we could invite Paul, he'd be more comfortable with some of his pals.  Much to my chagrin...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Carl Weathers, Luana Anders and Jennifer's dad Jim

February 05, 2024 22:04 - 37 minutes - 51 MB

This is one of the those podcasts where I know who it is that I'm talking to offstage, but Jennifer does not - until she realizes who it is.  It happens on camera, so no one can be in doubt about what it is we are doing. We have been doing this for eight years - weekly - where I invite someone to "get past the velvet rope" of the classroom of students that Luana Anders has amassed on the flipside, people who want to speak to those back on the planet, and she helps them to do so. Just the s...

HACKING THE AFTERLIFE with Jennifer Shaffer, Amelia Earhart, Steve Jobs and Napoleon

February 02, 2024 02:48 - 29 minutes - 40 MB

As these reports about Amelia Earhart's plane fly in - (pun intended) here's one of our many interviews with the aviatrix herself.  (There are seven more listed at EARHARTONSAIPAN.COM) I appreciate all the interest - but seriously, she's home. She's available. Anyone can ask her questions about her journey. I've spent 30 years proving she landed on Mili Atoll, was arrested, taken to Saipan, died there. It's not a mystery to me. What is a mystery is how someone spent 11 million dollars to l...

Hacking the Afterlife Redux with Jennifer Shaffer - a podcast from a year ago with David Crosby and Prince

January 28, 2024 01:31 - 39 minutes - 54.1 MB

Another unusual visit with pals on the Flipside. In today's podcast we have folks who've been to visit us before, but had more to say. One is the Oscar nominated dog Hira, owned by the screenwriter director Robert Towne. Hira's been to visit us before, transcripts are in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside." David Crosby stopped by again - after talking to us about what it was like to return to the flipside, and in this case, he wanted to talk further about his semi jaded, snarking obse...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, a visit from three grandfathers on the flipside

January 22, 2024 04:43 - 29 minutes - 40.9 MB

In this podcast we get a visit from people offstage that we know. As usual, we begin the podcast with a conversation with Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside (who left the stage in 1996) and she wants to talk about a recent dream that Jennifer had that included two of her grandfathers. They come through with expressions of love, as well as a discussion of how we can access our loved ones offstage.  Then later, my father comes through and wants to discuss his grandson Richard Jr. I...

Hacking The Afterlife Podcast with Jennifer Shaffer, Jim Medlyn, Luana Anders and Ma Durga

January 15, 2024 00:42 - 33 minutes - 45.5 MB

An unusual visit with folks off planet.  First Jennifer talks about losing her dad's ring prior to our last podcast.  Fortunately, she was able to find it, again, but it allowed us to ask her father on the flipside about it. Jim has been a frequent visitor to our conversations - since Jennifer and I started meeting up 8 years ago.  He passed back in 2017, and when he started visiting us, I realized that Jennifer couldn't speak when he was around. So I asked him "What can we tell people in t...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Morton, Duane, Paxton, Perry and Luana Anders

January 02, 2024 18:48 - 1 hour - 94 MB

Here's our extended New Year's Day podcast; starts with a conversation about predictions - while many reach out to mediums to ask to "predict what's going to happen" as noted, mediums like Jennifer have a "better view of likely outcomes."  Even then, they're translating what they're getting, and likely outcomes don't always come to pass. A discussion of a new study that correlates solar flares and earthquakes.  How the study by physicists (not geologists) shows the effects of solar flares ca...

Hacking the Afterlife Podcast Christmas Redux with Charles Dickens, Jennifer Shaffer and Luana Anders

December 24, 2023 21:18 - 43 minutes - 59.9 MB

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and Charles Dickens   HERE'S A REPLAY OF LAST YEAR'S CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY PODCAST It sounds bizarre, I know. We interviewed Charles briefly in the book "Backstage Pass to the Flipside" so his presence didn't throw me for a loop.   I really did look at a note on my cellphone this morning about a story that he's in - and his pal Washington Irving.  And for him to say "that's why I stopped by" is mind bending to say the least. We start...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Maestro Leonard Bernstein, Felicia Bernstein

December 15, 2023 01:51 - 38 minutes - 53.3 MB

Another one for the ages. In this episode, I invited two people to come to our podcast booth. One was Norman Lear, the prolific TV producer, and the other was Leonard Bernstein. I have just seen the Premiere of #MAESTRO #Netflix #StevenSpielberg #MartinScorsese #BradleyCooper #CareyMulligan #MayaHawke - and wondering if I might be able to invite the Maestro himself #LeonardBernstein and his wife #FeliciaMontealegre to our podcast. I didn't tell Jennifer who I was inviting, other than Lenny...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Amelia Earhart, Steve Jobs and Napoleon

November 30, 2023 23:43 - 29 minutes - 40 MB

As all in all of our podcasts, Jennifer and I have no clue who we're going to speak to during our session.  Sometimes I ask or invite people to come forward, and sometimes Jennifer states up front "so and so is here." In today's podcast, we asked Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside, to let us know if she wanted to bring someone forward or talk about process. Jennifer said "she wants to speak to you about your next book."  I am writing my next book, it's kind of what I do - it's a l...

HACKING THE AFTERLIFE with Jennifer Shaffer, Thanksgiving with Luana Anders and Jennifer’s dad Jim

November 22, 2023 23:03 - 30 minutes - 42.2 MB

Sometimes we have podcasts where Luana Anders wants to talk about process or connecting to those we love who are offstage. In this anniversary edition - we can't tell if it's been 8 or 9 years of us getting together like this, we have a conversation about connecting with loved ones over the holidays. Needless to say, they're available. They can be conversed with if one wants to. We've spoken about it in the book BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE, the idea of "setting a chair aside" for a love...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and Matthew Perry part two

November 17, 2023 00:59 - 35 minutes - 48.3 MB

"If you believe, it's easier to receive."  Our weekly conversation begins with a general discussion about talking to loved ones offstage, how it seems to be easier for people to do nowadays.  Jennifer mentions that she has a couple of days of openings on her calendar, so find out more info at JenniferShaffer.com   We ask our moderator on the Flipside Jennifer Shaffer if she has anyone she wants to reference, she begins by discussing dreams that Jennifer has had where she was with her cat w...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer - Matthew Perry, Luana Anders, River Phoenix, Bob Saget revised

November 13, 2023 22:02 - 31 minutes - 43.9 MB

There was a glitch at the end of the podcast so I'm uploading it again... As usual - Jennifer and I have no idea what we're going to talk about, or who we're going to speak to. We have our moderator on the flipside, Luana Anders to thank for our guest list.  Today's podcast is the 2023 DAY OF THE DEAD version.  We start off talking about Jennifer's latest events, (JenniferShaffer.com) - as we note in this podcast, by remembering our loved ones, we realize this is the DAY OF THE NOT DEAD. ...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Matthew Perry, River Phoenix, Bob Saget

November 03, 2023 02:59 - 35 minutes - 48.2 MB

As usual - Jennifer and I have no idea what we're going to talk about, or who we're going to speak to. We have our moderator on the flipside, Luana Anders to thank for our guest list.  Today's podcast is the 2023 DAY OF THE DEAD version.  We start off talking about Jennifer's latest events, (JenniferShaffer.com) - as we note in this podcast, by remembering our loved ones, we realize this is the DAY OF THE NOT DEAD. Because what people report is that when the play is over we go home.  With...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Einstein, Tesla, Hawking, Genghis Khan, Helen Keller

October 27, 2023 00:12 - 39 minutes - 54.2 MB

Tonight's podcast begins with a reference to the documentary AFTER DEATH which I happened to go to their premiere.  It's about the data, research from near death experiences, and focuses on some of the NDE's that included visits with "heaven" or "god" or "Jesus."  Angel.com studios is a crowd funded distribution network, and their members vote which films they'd like to see. In this case, something that's up my alley - I saw the film and wished I had made it.  They interview scientists talk...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, John E Mack, Carl Sagan

October 13, 2023 16:17 - 36 minutes - 50.1 MB

We don't plan our podcasts in advance, and let the folks on the flipside, our class organized by Luana Anders (my pal who passed in 1996 and who brought me and Jennifer together).  Luana is in charge of the topics discussed and the guest list. Podcast begins with a discussion about the recent tragic events in Israel. Some of Jennifer's sessions are involved with people whose children serve in the military overseas or are scheduled to serve. In our podcast we generally don't discuss matters...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Paul Allen, Bill Paxton, Charles Grodin

October 06, 2023 03:01 - 34 minutes - 47.4 MB

As we like to point out, we have no clue who is on our guest list when we start the podcast.  Luana brought three people we've spoken with before, and they wanted to weigh in on the same topic that was talked about last week - that is, how to get out of a negative mindset, as well as how to treat the negative impacts of football or drug abuse on the brain. In this case, Paul Allen, the cofounder of Microsoft who created the brain institute stopped by.  When Jennifer and I first met Paul it ...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Elvis, Janis, Aretha, Junior, Anthony and Luana

September 29, 2023 01:03 - 52 minutes - 72.8 MB

One of the most unusual podcast I can remember. Jennifer and I decided to meet up today at the last minute, and had no idea or clue what might be the topic of discussion. This one is about addiction in all of it's forms.  Jennifer first talked about her own experience with the use of drugs, or cigarettes or alcohol - and then a number of people came forward to talk about the subject. Elvis came forward to talk about his own issues in this area.  Then Janis Joplin came forward - we had int...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Tony Bennett, Rock Hudson, Gloria V and Wayne D

September 22, 2023 00:46 - 35 minutes - 48.7 MB

Another fun adventure with the flipside. Jennifer Shaffer works with law enforcement agencies nationwide on missing person cases. For the past 8 years we meet up weekly to talk to people offstage. I've been filming people talking to loved ones offstage for fifteen years. Examples are in the documentaries FLIPSIDE; MY JOURNEY INTO THE AFTERLIFE https://www.amazon.com/Flipside-Journey-Afterlife-Richard-Martini/dp/B0081U6K1Y TALKING TO BILL PAXTON, https://www.amazon.com/Backstage-Pass-Flipsi...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Gary Wright, Yogananda, Walter Matthau, Jimmy Buffett and others

September 08, 2023 03:14 - 35 minutes - 49.3 MB

Another mind bending episode. Luana Anders is our pal on the flipside who generates the guest list. In this case it was someone who passed away recently, musician Gary Wright. Gary was famous for his song "Dream Weaver." He worked with George Harrison and others in a long career. Jennifer did a private session with him in his home a few years ago, and he wanted to talk about his journey to the flipside.  He talked about who greeted him there, and what his experience was like. Gary was a f...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Maverick John McCain, JFK, RFK, Whitney Houston

September 01, 2023 00:12 - 47 minutes - 65.4 MB

Another mind bending podcast. As noted, Jennifer Shaffer and I have been doing these weekly meetings for 8 years.  It was not long after John McCain's passing that I was upstairs in my apt. and heard his voice say "I understand you're the guy to get a message to my family." I was startled - I didn't know him, met his chief of staff while researching "Three for the Road" in DC, but had no connection to him. Yet I could tell it was his voice. I said to him what I say to everyone "I'm not in ...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Jennifer’s dad Jim, The Myth of Er

August 18, 2023 01:51 - 26 minutes - 36 MB

Today's podcast is about managing energy and the myth of Er. As noted, we don't speak prior to our podcast, not for any particular reason, just that's how it's worked out for the past 8 years. So whatever comes up is either what pops into my head or what Jennifer sees, hears or gets in reply to my questions. In this case, Jennifer mentions that she's had a hard week at work with her law enforcement cases and other issues; and so we turn that into a question for Luana on how to manage ener...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Eddie Hassell, Elvis, Lisa Marie and Anthony

August 10, 2023 23:41 - 35 minutes - 49.4 MB

First there's a number of mistakes that I made in this podcast. (Note: Not that Jennifer makes, but that I make). One is that the film Dementia 13 was made in 1963, not 1967. Then there's a discussion with Elvis about his granddaughter Riley, who has a daughter who is not an actress, at least yet; she's only 2.  People sometimes complain that there are "too many celebrities on our podcast" - again, Jennifer is not in charge of the guest list, I ask Luana Anders to bring the guest list. In...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Charles Grodin and Bill Paxton

August 04, 2023 01:02 - 39 minutes - 53.9 MB

A new episode! Jennifer was whisked off to the Caribbean, then to London, and finally back home to her office where I was able to steal a half hour of her time between clients. Again, Jennifer is available via JenniferShaffer.com - She works with law enforcement agencies nationwide pro bono on missing person cases.   We've been meeting up like this for 8 years. The past two on our podcast "Hacking the Afterlife."  I reference the podcast with Rob Lowe and the medium Rebecca Rosen, who ha...

Hacking the Afterlife Podcast with Jennifer Shaffer Redux; Luana Anders and Bill Paxton

July 27, 2023 00:49 - 44 minutes - 61.3 MB

In light of the amazing, terrific, mind bending interview that Rob Lowe did with Bill Paxton on his podcast with Rebecca Rosen this week (see link below) I'm reposting one of our conversations with Bill from September 2011. Listen to Rob Lowe's podcast, listen to the dream he had about his friend Bill, then listen to our podcast and see the similarities of what Bill is reporting from the flipside. Not gone. Just not here.   These are the liner notes from that session: (seen at MartiniZon...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, her dad Jim, Chuck, Gene and Gilda last year

July 20, 2023 18:55 - 38 minutes - 52.5 MB

Jennifer is still on vacation, and I'm recovering from surgery. So today's podcast is a repeat from a year ago.  Fun to see how things that we heard a year ago still apply. Another example of how we don't plan our podcasts - we could, we can, but in this case, we just let Luana Anders, our moderator on the flipside dictate who was going to chat with us. First up was Jennifer's dad Jim, the Mormon bishop who passed five years ago, who had in the past showed us some amazing things on the flip...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer - podcast from two years ago

July 09, 2023 20:30 - 35 minutes - 32.3 MB

Jennifer is still on vacation, deep sea diving somewhere in the Atlantic.  In order to encourage people to go through some of our previous podcasts, here's one from two years ago when I had my hip replaced. We talk about my trip to Mt. Kailash where I put my friend's titanium hip in a stupa, a stone sculpture made by thousands who'd walked around Mt. Kailash over the years.  Considered one of the most sacred spots on earth by Hindus, Jains, the Bon and Tibetan Buddhists, I had taken that tr...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders Bill Paxton, Charles Grodin, Jesus, Michael, Julian Sands

June 25, 2023 23:26 - 30 minutes - 42.1 MB

Podcast begins with a general discussion about the recent submarine disaster, Bill Paxton stops by to say hello. When Jennifer and I first met, it was doing a session with my old friend Bill, who introduced himself by putting her in the submarine he took to visit the Titanic. She didn't know who she was at first, nor why he was showing her the ship. He talks generally about how things went awry, and cites his pal James Cameron.  Then Charles Grodin stops by to talk about his godson RJ and h...

Hacking The Afterlife with Mick Gough, Gene Wilder, Gilda, Charles Grodin, Hira, Jesus, Steve Jobs

June 16, 2023 00:43 - 47 minutes - 64.8 MB

Crowded house today. We talked about my recent appearance in COAST TO COAST with George Noory, then Luana Anders thanked us for our work together for 8 years.  Her friend Michael (Mick) Gough came to mind, the actor who was Batman's first butler (Tim Burton's version) who I knew and spent time with.  Then Gene Wilder, Bill Paxton, Gilda Radner, Charles Grodin weighed in on how actors, musicians, creative people help those on the planet with their roles and their creative projects. Robert T...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, J. Allen Hynek, Darwin & JFK Jr.

June 09, 2023 00:49 - 34 minutes - 47.4 MB

This past week I attended the "Contact in the Desert" conference run by Ron Janix ("Captain Ron") in Indian Wells. It was a lot of fun and had a great time hearing Paul Hynek, Matthew James Bailey and others.  I wanted to meet Paul Hynek because when I was in grade school in Northbrook Illinois, my Catholic nun science teacher Sister Delfine (later Sister Anne) got me to do a State Science fair project. Her friend at Northwestern was roped into being my mentor, and that happened to be the fa...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Harry Dean Stanton and Sitting Bull

June 02, 2023 01:54 - 24 minutes - 34.3 MB

Another unusual afternoon chatting with folks on the flipside.   In this episode we get a visit from an old friend Harry Dean Stanton. Harry passed away in Sept. 2017 at the age of 91. As noted in the book BACKSTAGE PASS TO THE FLIPSIDE, Harry Dean came through prior to his memorial service.   When Harry passed, I wondered if it was possible to chat with my old pal. A skeptic's skeptic, he had spent many a long evening arguing with anyone who wanted to talk about the afterlife. He lumped th...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana, Prince, Tina Turner, Lil Richard, Billie Holiday

May 26, 2023 17:54 - 40 minutes - 56.1 MB

Didn't plan it, suspected it might occur, but we got a visit from the Queen of Rock and Roll.    In the podcast, Prince shows up first, I thought because he showed up the week previously and didn't get to speak, but he wanted to say "We got her." And then he presented Jennifer with Tina. We asked if she was ready to be interviewed, or if she just wanted to hang back, but because of her relationship with our moderator on the flipside, Luana Anders, who knew her when they both joined the Nic...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders, Elvis, Bill Paxton, Bard and Robin Williams

May 19, 2023 07:00 - 43 minutes - 60.2 MB

Another one of the mind bending podcasts.   This one primarily a birthday conversation with my old pal Bill Paxton. When I first began working with Jennifer, one of our earliest filmed meetings was in her office, where I asked many questions about my friend who had just passed away. The fact that I asked two other mediums the same questions (and in one case I wasn't there when the questions were asked) they were identical questions - and all three said the same things about him. They also p...

Hacking the Afterlife Podcast with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders Birthday party with Chuck and David Crosby

May 12, 2023 02:05 - 33 minutes - 46 MB

In honor of our moderator on the flipside's upcoming birthday tomorrow, we decided to chat to folks over there what it's like to "celebrate birthdays" ... or have a party.  Easily the most unusual thing was to hear that David Crosby was singing "Yesterday" to her. Yes, we know that's not his song, but Luana was a longtime friend of David's and knew him back in the day, (introduced me to him at our local restaurant. He was friendly).   It is slightly odd and coincidental that last night we ...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Luana Anders and John Lennon

May 04, 2023 23:30 - 22 minutes - 31.4 MB

A tad shorter podcast today, but still jam packed with fun. Podcast begins with a conversation from Luana Anders, talking about "my next book" (when the last one came out in Easter).   The point was that this morning I was having this "I wonder if I should blend these two ideas into one book" - and Jennifer said "She's saying she put that thought in your head, to blend the ideas." That's one of those "uncanny" things for me, but it's not about me - so I asked Luana if she had anyone that wa...

Hacking the Afterlife Podcast with Jennifer Shaffer, David Bowie, Prince, Hira and Luana Anders

April 28, 2023 19:02 - 32 minutes - 45.1 MB

Another mind bending podcast with Jennifer Shaffer.  In this instance, we begin with a conversation about a phone call that I received just prior to the podcast, with a friend of the moderator on the flipside (Luana Anders) calling me as we were about to go on air. So when Luana references that phone call on the podcast, she's referring to the process of how they do that - a week earlier, on a previous podcast, Luana gave Jennifer a message to give to me, I emailed this person with a messag...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Jack and Paul Tracey and Luana Anders

April 21, 2023 01:59 - 51 minutes - 70.7 MB

Another mind bending podcast.  I was close friends to Paul Tracey and his dad Jack throughout the past 50 years.  Paul passed away in 2004, and his father recently, after a bout with Alzheimer's. As an experiment, Jennifer and I did an interview with Jack's higher self while he was in hospice care. That interview can be found on Medium: https://richmartini.medium.com/alzheimers-and-the-flipside-a-memorial-for-a-friend-32afd52682f2 "Alzheimer's and the Flipside"  In the interview, he expla...

Hacking The Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Jim the Bishop, Five the Librarian, Hira the Dog

April 15, 2023 02:21 - 56 minutes - 77.1 MB

Another mind bending session with three individuals on the flipside.  In the first section, Jennifer's dad Jim stops by. A Mormon Bishop, he's stopped by in the past to show his daughter some amazing things. We took a visit to her Akashic Library some years ago, as well as introduced us to a classroom on the flipside where the subject was "astrophysics" - but the class was in deep space. At first he warned Jennifer not to be "freaked out" by his teacher - who appeared in a cloak with 8 arms...

Hacking the Afterlife Podcast - Book Talk about Divine Councils in the Afterlife with Rich Martini

April 14, 2023 06:45 - 1 hour - 150 MB

I was invited to speak at this conference in March at Tibet House Menla (thusmenla.org) to talk about the latest research in the book DIVINE COUNCILS IN THE AFTERLIFE.   It's a recap of the research to date, why I'm doing this research, and a bit about my trip to Tibet with Robert Thurman.  It's a 90 minute talk with 30 minutes of Q and A.  Jam packed with all the research to date.  Please visit Thus.org (Tibet House in NY) or Thusmenla.org - as they depend upon donations for their survival,...

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Prince, Beethoven, Hira the Dog and Luana Anders

March 31, 2023 01:34 - 36 minutes - 50 MB

As usual, Jennifer and I don't speak until we start the podcast.  So we both have no idea who's going to show up, or what they might want to impart. In this episode, Prince makes a return visit and speaks about how he's helping people around the planet on a daily basis. Could be for musical reasons, creativity, or for some reason he pops into their mind. I invite Ludwig back as he spoke to us last week, and I wanted to mention two experiences where he popped into my mind last week, to see ...

Another unusual podcast. Jennifer is going to be appearing this weekend at an event.  She mentions it during the podcast for a ten percent off the ticket price. Meanwhile, I'm speaking at the Menla Conference this Sunday at 1-2:30 PM LA time, details are at RichMartini.com  Today we had yet another visit from Amelia Earhart.

Hacking the Afterlife with Jennifer Shaffer, Anthy Martini, Beethoven, Shakespeare and Company

Another unusual podcast.   This time my mom shows up to say hello, to talk about "what it's like on the flipside." She was a concert pianist, and she talks about our home in Northbrook Illinois, only how she's recreated it on the flipside. Then one of her favorite composers stops by, someone we've spoken to before, Ludwig - and he talks a little bit about what the experience on the flipside is like for him, and recounts his "most favorite lifetime." Also Will Shakespeare stops by - again, ...

Hacking the Afterlife Podcast with Jennifer Shaffer, Prince, Princess Diana, Luana Anders and friends

March 14, 2023 19:33 - 31 minutes - 43.2 MB

This was one of the more unusual podcasts in memory - mainly because it was on my birthday, and I had the profound experience of being with my friend Luana Anders on my birthday. Here, Luana left the planet in 1996, and being able to ask her questions and get answers, as well as ask her to give her Oscar's speech - is mind bending. Jennifer and I have been doing this for 8 years. Luana has appeared to members of my family (when they'd never met her, but could identify her) as well as other ...
